25 Deals and $525K in Assignment Fees in a Single Quarter

The starting point

Dominic came to Bolt Deals having already worked with multiple PPC providers. He knew how to close. What he did not have was a lead engine he could trust to fire the same way every week. The problem with most providers is not that they cannot generate a lead. It is that the flow is spiky, the leads get resold, and nobody owns the follow-up. A good quarter followed by a dead one is not a business, it is a coin flip.

What we ran

We built Dominic an exclusive motivated-seller machine on his own ad accounts, tuned for consistency rather than a one-time spike. Every lead was his alone, never resold, tied to his brand and his market. Then we backed it with the piece most agencies skip: free dedicated lead managers who work the leads the moment they land. That operational backbone is why 133 leads did not leak into a voicemail graveyard. They got called, qualified, and moved.

The quarter, by the numbers

Metric	Q1 2026
Ad spend	$20,200
Motivated-seller leads	133
Cost per lead	$150
Contracts signed	24
Cost per contract	~$900
Average assignment fee	~$21K
Deals closed	25
Assignment fees	$525,000

A $150 cost per lead is efficient. A roughly $900 cost per contract on a market where the average assignment fee is near $21K is the number that matters. It means every dollar of spend is buying signed paper, not just clicks. Twenty-five deals across a quarter is not a spike, it is a rhythm.

Why the consistency held

Three things kept the quarter from wobbling, and none of them are luck:

• Exclusive leads. Dominic was never the fourth cash offer in a seller's inbox. Every one of the 133 leads was his alone, which is what keeps conversion rates steady week to week.
• Free dedicated lead managers. The onboarding handed Dominic a team that works his leads for free. That is the operational backbone. Great ads with slow follow-up waste spend, and this is where the $900 cost per contract came from.
• He owned the accounts. The ad accounts, the data, the pixel, all in Dominic's name. He was building an asset, not renting flow he would lose the day he left.

In his words

"Amazing onboarding, they give you lead managers for free, and out of multiple providers this has been my best PPC provider. This is what a marketing agency should look like."

Coming from an operator who has run with several providers, that is the whole thesis in one sentence. The onboarding sets the account up right, the free lead managers keep the pipe moving, and the result is a quarter that repeats.

The takeaway

Dominic did not need a new skill. He needed a lead engine that fires the same way every week and a team that catches every lead. When an established operator gets exclusive leads on their own accounts with follow-up that does not leak, the quarter takes care of itself. $20,200 in, $525,000 out, 25 deals, one quarter.
